Re: AHI adjustment or not?

I certainly appreciate all the post. Please keep helping! The thing is that I was always sleeping 5 hours. Fully awake I stay in bed trying to get used to the gear. That is the tube, sound of the machine etc… My breathing was very calm. At that point my AHI would have been 5.32. And not 3.8 after tw...

Re: AHI adjustment or not?

Sweating after awakening

I am a new user! I had about 5 events per hour (down to 1 with treatment). I want to know if anyone, before treatment, has ever experienced heavy sweating after awakening during the night. I am wondering if this isn’t a “side-effect” of sleep apnea. Since using my new remstar (Philips) I have not ha...
